Pattern Play: Wallpaper, Textiles, and Tiles by Akin & Suri - Remodelista
London designers Burcu Akin and Piyush Suri have excised any signs of frumpiness in their version of old-fashioned, homey British style.
We discovered their designs at a trade show in New York several years ago and keep checking back in, watching as they deftly apply their patterns to every surface in the house.

A sampling of Akin & Suri textiles; they’re available in 44-inch wide cotton-flax, and 60-inch wide upholstery-weight cotton canvas. In the US, they’re available through Studio Four NYC for $144 per yard for either weight, six yard minimum.
French company Carocim, which specializes in traditional Moroccan-style concrete tiles, has just introduced a line of Akin & Suri tiles.
Akin & Suri’s first wallpaper collection includes four patterns, including Selin shown here. The company’s wallpaper is printed in the UK on a traditional rotary machine using water-based inks and paper from sustainable forests.
The Selin pattern is available in four color ways.
Akin & Suri’s Elmas wallpaper, a pattern inspired by 1970s geometric prints.
Nila wallpaper, a pattern similar to Elmas (and to the company’s tile design, above), is available in five color ways, four of which are shown here.
Nila wallpaper serves as a backdrop for a chair upholstered in Akin & Suri’s Naar fabric with a pillow in Damla, which the designers describe as “a very stylized take on retro Scandinavian studio pottery pattern…the name Damla means water droplets [in Turkish].”
Naar is inspired by Ottoman pomegranate flowers–”a graphic retake on Turkish royal motifs,” say the designers.
